A FOODIE HERE, A FOODIE THERE

A foodie is someone who goes beyond just putting food into his or her mouth. Foodies don’t judge people based on their eating habits, simply because they are too concerned about their own food to even care. Technically speaking a foodie is someone who breathes, relishes, feels, celebrates and then eats food. That’s the difference between a foodie and someone who just likes to eat. The same difference between someone who owns a DSLR and someone who actually has a sense of photography.

As for me, when I see food, I go eeeeeeee!

So the next time you think you’ve spotted a foodie and sincerely wondering which category he or she may fall in, this checklist might help.

· Menu cards are souvenirs for them.
· Their eyes light up if someone recommends a dish they find worthy of having.
· While others are ready to gulp down the first thing that appears on their plate, foodies analyse the texture, preparation and presentation.
· They feel compelled to share their knowledge about a certain dish even if they haven’t been asked.
· They have a dreamy expression while walking through the aisles in supermarkets.
· They may even indulge in casual conversation with food- “Oh my white chocolaty coconut banoffee pie. It’s been so long since we have met!”
· Each moment and experience with food is unique and they revel in it.

You needn’t really go elsewhere for food recommendations if you have such a friend.

Trichy Police - “Redefining Peace”

ATTENTION! According to the statistics for 2007, released by the National Criminal Records Bureau, Tamil Nadu had a total cognizable crime rate of 261.7 per one lakh population, while that of Chennai was 256.9. The crime rate, defined as the number of crime trends as it balances incidence with growth in population. Chennai’s crime rate ensures that the metro is ranked a creditable 24 th among 35 major cities in the country while Coimbatore stands at the 22nd position and Madurai at the 30 th . However the situation in Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru can send a chill of apprehension down anyone’s spine. Delhi has earned the skeptical distinction of being the most unsafe metro in the country, topping the list of the number of crimes. According to latest government statistics, Delhi accounted for 13.2 per cent of a total of 3,43,749 crimes reported in 35 mega cities across the country in 2009 followed by Bengaluru (9.4 %) and Mumbai (9.1%). Now picturise the following situation: Cha

WASTE MANAGEMENT- WHOSE RESPONSIBILITY IS IT?

What’s Bangalore’s biggest nightmare? Those in mansions and bungalows can escape it once they are inside their homes. The roadside, slums, villages are filled with it. It is the city’s most dreaded enemy. With rising piles of garbage across town, Bangalore is on the verge of saturation with added pressure on landfills and age- old technologies. Solid waste management takes committed and responsible implementation of waste collection, handling and disposal. With the deep corruption and irresponsible officials, which includes regulators and engineers, it will be very hard to solve this crisis. All those contractors mishandling their contracts should be jailed and be kept away from getting such contracts, so future contractors do an honest job, hopefully. But can anyone point out the exact reason for this crisis? The success and failure of waste management can be attributed to several factors that may seem obvious such as proper disposal of waste, participation of the community, hiring th

Think Global but Eat Local

The urban population in India has cut down on literally everything from their diet especially sugar, ghee, oil, carbs. Little do they know that it comes as a package: A slow cut down of nutrients, vitamins, essential minerals. Even hair, skin tone and energy level! Ask them what motivated them to do so and the obvious reply would be “To keep fit” Of course eating idli and chutney, poha or paratha does not sound half as cool as eating salads, soup or oats. Packaged, readymade food have all been advertised as healthy. They have been marketed under various brand names. It is but of course a gimmick. One season the aisles of supermarkets will be filled with packets of wheat based cereal. The next season it would be gluten free followed by super nutritious sugar free cereal. A consumer who has been dying to lose some weight gets confused.
